Rabbit Supply Checklist

  • Indoor housing

    • Puppy pen 30-36 inches or higher so your rabbit can’t jump out 

    • Rabbit safe hutch (can be found on/at Petsmart, Mr Pets, Amazon, Ebay, Wish and local feed stores sometimes carry rabbit hutches) Don’t forget to make sure your bunny has a non-wired section of the hutch to prevent sore hocks (feet) 

  • Wire covers

    • Plastic sleeves can be neatly connected to your wall. (Home depot) 

    • Flex tubing is another great option for covering and/or bundling wires 

  • Furniture / baseboard protection

    • Puppy pens can help block off areas or confine your rabbit to a safe area of a room. ​

    • Metal baby gates can be used to block off rooms.

    • Storage cube panels can be attached to the bottoms of baby gates with zip ties if the slats are too far apart.

  • Litter box

    • A medium-sized cat litter box (no top) or a shallow storage container will do.​

  • Rabbit-safe litter

    • We recommend horse bedding pellets (we find it absorbs and traps odors the best)  

  • Food / water bowls

    • Glass pet water bottle that can be attached to the cage are easy to clean and can easily replace the spout 

    • Ceramic dishes are heavy enough so your rabbit can’t tip them over 

  • Hay feeder

    • This helps keep hay fresh and available to your rabbit (you may place the hay directly onto the pellets in the litter tray as well) 

  • Floor Protector - you may want to protect your floor in the bunny area 

    • Make sure to get a hard plastic one to resist chewing - examples: shop flooring, piece of laminate, office chair floor protector at Staples ​

  • Food (hay, pellets, vegetables, and water)

    • You can buy a bale from a local farmer or feed store if you have space for a tub to keep the hay confined (check local Craigslist ads)  

    • We sell hay, ask us about it! 

    • Mr. Pets and Petsmart 

  • Cardboard box

    • You can create a cardboard castle by cutting doorways and windows in a large cardboard box, don’t forget to remove any tape and use cardboard with minimal ink 

  • Chew toys

    • Sea grass mats are acceptable to chew and can be used to cover areas  

    • Woven grass play balls are also a favorite for distraction 

    • Wood and rope activity centers/toys capture rabbits’ interest 

    • Some bird toys are safe. Cotton strings are not the safest for rabbits.  

    • Sisal twine is the safest for rabbits to consume like they would hay! 

    • Ask us about our homemade rabbit toys!!  

  • Nail clippers/Hair Brush

    • You will need to regularly trim your bunny’s nails. If your rabbit has dark claws, a small flashlight helps you to locate the quick and avoid it. If you hit the quick you may use a small amount of flour to stop the bleeding, you’ll have to hold your bunny in the meantime to help keep your furry friend calm.  

    • Rabbits can't vomit!! That makes it very important to brush them especially during heat waves, they shed like madness!
